Oxygen and carbon combine with each other to form covalent compounds as in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonate ion, etc.
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
Covalent bonding enables several molecules to share electrons to produce long chains of compounds.
Yes, for instance carbon dioxide (structure: O=C=O) is covalently bonded.
The carbon to carbon bonding in Diamond is a covalent bonding.
Carbon atoms are fixed into organic compounds in The Calvin Cycle.

mostly all carbon compounds have covalent bonding since carbon can't donate it's valence shell electrons it can share those electrons
Yes, for instance carbon dioxide (structure: O=C=O) is covalently bonded.
Carbon based molecules are part of the family of compounds known as organic. Carbon bonding to other atoms is almost always of covalent nature; electrons are shared.
The carbon to carbon bonding in Diamond is a covalent bonding.
Carbon atoms are fixed into organic compounds in The Calvin Cycle.
Different covalent compounds can have not only the same empirical formula but also the same molecular formula. For example, C2H6O can be either dimethyl ether or ethanol. This can occur because of differences in bonding patterns. In dimethyl ether, the oxygen atom is bonded directly to both carbon atoms, but in ethanol the oxygen atom is bonded to oxygen and hydrogen instead.
Most of them are, though there are a few that are ionic such as sodium acetate and other organic acid salts. These include ionic bonds, but also contain covalent bonds within a polyatomic ion.
i used to think it was a ionic but then i found out it was a covalent
No, carbon bonding is almost entirely covalent bonding between two carbon atoms.
A carbon atom has only four electrons in its valance energy shell. This allows for four other bonding possibilities. Carbon is also an atom that has covalent bonding properties which means it shares its electrons with the molecules that it is bonded to.
